"Think Inside the Box"

The Vexler Theatre proudly announces the 2009-2010 Season!

Run For Your Wife  - August 20 to September 13, 2009

The story of a London cab driver, John Smith, with two wives, two lives and a very precise schedule for juggling them both.  Trouble brews when Smith is mugged and ends up in the hospital where both of his addresses surface, causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate.  Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts with his lazy layabout neighbor to explain himself to his wives and two suspicious police officers!

 

ORPHANS  - October 22 to November 15, 2009

Off-Broadway audiences gave this moving drama standing ovations!  Two brothers live in a house in North Philly.  The older one supports himself and his slightly retarded brother by petty thievery.  One night he brings home a rich guy with plans to get him drunk and roll him.  It turns out that Harold is very rich and on the lam from others who want to kill him.  Harold establishes the house as a base of operations and, in a strange, hilarious and moving way, becomes the father figure both boys have always yearned for.

 

Jake’s Women – February 4 to 28, 2010

A play by Neil Simon. It centers on Jake, a writer with a struggling marriage. Jake talks to many of the women he knows, both in real life and in his imagination, as he works to save his marriage. Jake, suffering with psychosis and seeing representations of his daughter at age 12, his late wife Julie and recently divorced wife Maggie, is dealing with the inability to write productively and must resolve these issues before he does so.

 

RENT – April 29 to May 30, 2010

This Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway rock musical is based loosely on Puccini’s opera La Boheme.  It follows a year in the lives of impoverished young artists and musicians living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York’s Lower East Side in the thriving days of the Bohemian Alphabet City.  The struggle to survive in the shadow of AIDS, financial troubles, infidelity, pursuing dreams, and the complications that come with them pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Collins, Mark, Angel, Maureen, Joanne, and Benny.

General Admission tickets for each show go on sale approximately one month prior to the show opening.  To make reservations or inquire further about the season, please call the box office at (210) 302-6835.
